• Variable speed fans automatically reduce
power consumption
• The switch also has a special mounting kit,
allowing it to be mounted vertically or
horizontally in a rack.
• Seamless, standards-based integration into
existing Cisco® and other networks helps
reduce downtime and learning curve.
Business Benefits
• High performance - The 10G Low Latency
Switch provides the best combination of
extremely low latency, non-blocking line-rate
switching and ease of management.
• Reduced TCO - SFP+ ports and SFP+
Direct Attach (twinax) Cables provide the
flexibility needed for 10GbE networking at a
very affordable price.
• Deployment Flexibility - Front-to-rear
cooling for server racks and Rear-to-front
cooling for rear-facing applications like
storage enclosures.
• Better Cooling - The RackSwitch G8124
improves cooling efficiency which reduces
air conditioning power consumption and
helps avoid potential reliability concerns as a
result of the heat issues associated with side
cooled switches.
• Interoperability - Software is based on
Internet standards for optimal interoperability
with Cisco® or other vendors’ networks.
• Easy Server Provisioning -
ServerMobility™ enables simple bare-metal
provisioning of servers and repurposing of
standby servers.
